Are you in favor of stacking the Supreme Court?

POTUS made his pick only after giving the nation time to pay respects to RBG and I'd assume over 90 days of confirmation cannot be considered "jamming through".

As I said before:  The same GOP that said "we can't even vote in committee about Obama's nominee" with months left in his term (he was elected to serve his full term too I suppose) are now saying "we absolutely have to put this nominee on the court before we do anything else".  That is the problem.

If the Democrats were in charge of the Senate right now and blocking Trump's appointee I'd say THEY were the problem after they insisted Obama's nominees should get a vote.

The Democrats are asking for consistency and fairness and the Republicans are not ever going to give any of that.
